The Confusing Thing About Roommates

They may seem harmless. Or even worse, wonderful. They may also seem like a terror. Who knows! Don't let the first few weeks decide anything for you. Give it a month or two. Then accept what it is. You can't change them, you can only change you. If you aren't doing anything wrong, don't let them affect who you are as a person. Just try to get along. If you both do your best, it will work out.

And if it doesn't.... well, don't forget that this will only be one year, or semester of your life! Next year, it will be better. Don't allow one moment of now envelope and doom your forever. You have eternity to have fun and wonderful companions in a dorm, apartment, or home. The hard times right now will teach you something that will make you better. I promise. It's happened to me, and it still will. Every year, I'll grow a little more, and hopefully someday that eternal roommate will show up, and I won't have to worry about this again!

Blog Renovation!!!

I've been considering making some major changes to my blog, and I now have motivation. For my work at Freshman Academy, I attend class with my students. One of their classes is led by Dr. Holzapfel, my D&C professor. He asks his students to keep a weekly blog relating to what they learn in class. Therefore, I will be posting for D&C. At the same time, I will try to post for my students' American Government class as well.

At the same time, I will try to talk about what it's like living off campus, and being an experienced college student at BYU. It clearly talks about my perspective, but I want to try to help other students succeed. Right now I live in an all-girls apartment just below the hill south of campus. It's a very different experience from the dorms, but I think it's pretty fun. As the year goes on, I will talk about what's hard, what's easy, and such not in my life.

Oh, and I'm totally going to make a new layout and style too!! Super fun! :D
